Global Options for Remote Controllers
In the Studio Setup dialog, on the page for your remote device, some (or all) of the following
global functions may be available (depending on your remote device):
Bank Pop-Up Menu
If your remote device contains several banks, you can select the bank you want to
use.
The bank you select here is used by default when Cubase is launched.
Smart Switch Delay
Some of the Cubase functions such as Solo and Mute support the so called smart
switch behavior: In addition to regular activation/deactivation of a function by
clicking a button, you can also activate the function for as long as the button is
pressed. Upon releasing the mouse button, the function is deactivated.
This pop-up menu allows you to specify how long a button must be pressed before
it goes into smart switch mode. When “Off” is selected, the smart switch function is
deactivated in Cubase.
Enable Auto Select
If this option is activated, touching a fader on a touch-sensitive remote control device
automatically selects the corresponding channel. On devices without touch-sensitive
faders, the channel gets selected as soon as you move the fader.
Writing automation using remote controls
Automating the MixConsole using a remote control device is done in the same way as when you
operate on-screen controls in Write mode. In order to replace existing automation data for a
control, the computer needs to know how long the user actually “grabbed” or used the control.
When doing this “on screen”, the program simply detects when the mouse button is pressed and
released. When you are using an external remote control device without touch-sensitive controls,
Cubase cannot tell whether you “grab and hold” a fader or simply move it and release it.
Therefore, when you are using a device without touch-sensitive controls and want to replace
existing automation data, pay attention to the following:
●
If you activate Write mode and move a control on the remote control device, all data for
the corresponding parameter is replaced from the position where you moved the control,
up to the position where playback is stopped.
In other words, as soon as you move a control in Write mode, it remains “active” until you
stop playback.
●
Make sure that you move only the controller you want to replace.
